I can't imagine that a presecutor would do hours worth of research to try to determine if an AK, AR or any other magazine were pre ban assuming it was not blatantly obvious.

I can't imagine a prosecutor would do that either. They would simply take the easy route - put the burden of proof on you. As I am not aware of any case law in this regard, you would need a damned good lawyer to put that burden back on the DA and establish said case law, and there's a very real possibility that you might spend some time in the klink and lose everything you own in the process. Given what just happened to that poor SOB in Manchester-by-the-Sea, ANYTHING can happen in Massachusetts and much of it could be very, very bad for otherwise law-abiding gun owners. As Woody Allen said, there's a word for people who are convinced that the world is out to get them - perceptive.

A prosecutor wouldn't be able to do it. You'd have to send the magazines to a crime lab. Then they'd have to waste resources trying to figure out when it was made. A -LOT- of resources.

...Some of you people are your own worse enemies.

Very true. I can only imagine how frustrated they'd get trying to identify an unmarked standard AK mags manufacture date.

I can just see it now... they're going to issue a subpeona to Yevgeni who worked in the AK magazine factory in Iveshk Russia....

To whom it may concern,

All the mags possesed by [Insert your full name here] are indeed pre-ban,manufactured before 1994.

Yours sincerely,
